Mariners Game

We had a really fun Saturday spending some time on Safeco Field meeting some really cool players and getting some autographs. My parents won tickets to go on the field, meet a player and get our pictures taken. Jamie Burke was the only player available but he was really nice and friendly. We have professional pictures coming in the mail soon.

Nick got his autograph as well as Lee Tinsley's. He is a coach but the experience of being on the field with them was really fun. We wanted Griffey's autograph but he wasnt playing that day. He was pretty close to us and we got some good pics. The seats were amazing too. Check out the pics!

A weekend in Winthrop

Nick and I decided to get a way for a couple of days and drive over to beautiful Winthrop. Nick had never been there before so it was fun showing him around the old western themed town. It was super hot, about 97 degrees on Saturday. I got a nasty sunburn from being in the pool at the campground. It was amazing how deserted the town was because usually its a huge tourist trap in the summer and its hard to get around.

We took Annie with us and she was surprisingly pretty good for her first camping trip. She discovered how fun swimming can be and she did anything she could to find any type of water to play in.

Finally finding water at Diablo Lake!


Nick and I rode these bikes all around the campsite

Mt. Erie and more dress issues....

Out of frustration I called the dress shop AGAIN looking for an update on my dress that was supposed to come in LAST week. After waiting on hold for what I presumed to be a discussion among the salespeople about what to tell me, they finally got on the phone and told me that there had been a slight delay....how slight...I asked. Well, it looks like the dress wont be shipping out until July 1st.

At this point I was about to have a meltdown on the phone with the owner of the shop. She had to reassure me that she has never had a screw up in 30 years and she wont start with mine...well how can I not freak out when after shipping the 1st, probably not getting here until a week later, the dress will be here like 2 weeks before the wedding, without any alterations! How is this possible?! I am so deathly afraid that something will be wrong with the new one too. Well, I just have to sit back and try to relax. Hopefully it will all work out okay.

We have been trying to do some fun stuff to get our minds "destressed" and also to get out and enjoy the nice weather we have been having. We have played some tennis and have been taking Annie out a lot to different parks and such. We took a drive up to Mt. Erie and enjoyed the mild hiking and beautiful views from the top.


So beautiful!


Annie and dad :)
